The calcium-independent ATPase of the lipid modified preparations is not only different from the calcium-dependent ATPase but also from the calcium-independent ATPase of native preparations — the basic ATPase — which has a lower nucleotide specificity126. The experiments in which the lipid matrix of the sarcoplasmic membranes has been replaced by lipid compounds not present in native membranes reveal a high degree of functional flexibility of the enzyme. On the other hand, a few residual lipids in the protein are sufficient to prevent these changes in the structure of the enzyme and to preserve its calcium sensitivity. 

In calculating a theoretical photoelectron spectmm, the atomic ionization cross section a. is usually taken so far from the theoretical values calculated for a neutral free atom in the ground state. However, the MO calculation by DV-Xa method is carried out self consistently and provides Q. by Mulliken population analysis using the SCF MO wave function calculated. In the present calculations, the atomic orbital Xj used for the basis function flexibly expands or contracts according to reorganization of the charge density on the atom in molecule in the self-consistent field. Furthermore, excited state atomic orbitals are sometimes added to extend the basis set. In such a case, the estimation of peak intensity of the photoionization using the data of Oj previously published is not adequate. Thus a calculation of the photoionization cross section is required for the atomic orbital used in the SCF calculation in order...

This was initiated by first choosing a simple test bed chemical reaction to evaluate and understand the functionality, flexibility and limitations of the microreactor platform. The reaction of acetic acid and methanol to form methyl ester was selected because the reaction was temperature sensitive and of minimal toxicity. This chemistry has been extensively studied in the author s laboratory previously by Raman spectroscopy in a typical batch reactor. The batch reactor results were a very useful foundation when trying to understand the reaction processes in the microreactor. The microreactor experiments were structured to study reaction response to reactor parameter changes (temperature and flow rate) using Raman spectroscopy. 

Plasticity and flexibility Some enzymes have catalytic residues that are functionally flexible and act upon structurally diverse substrates by different mechanisms (Huber et al., 1994 Kanda et al, 1986 Tsai et al, 1969). The plasticity, in particnlar the ability of inverting enzymes to use both a- and P-glycosyl substrates, has been described (Matsui et al, 1989 Tanaka et al, 1994). The plasticity of the active sites may also result from different functional groups or the conserved residues at different positions in the primary sequences within the enzyme superfamily to perform the same mechanistic role in the catalysis (Todd et al, 2002). 

Ravden and Johnson (1989) evaluate usabihty of human computer interfaces. They identify nine top-level attributes visual clarity, consistency, compatibility, informative feedback, explicitness, appropriate functionality, flexibility and control, error prevention and correction, and user guidance and support. They disaggregate each into a number of more measurable attributes. These attributes can be used as part of a standard multiple-attribute evaluation. 

Parallel cells will be used if only one assembly cell is responsible for the complete assembly of a variant. Each individual cell has a high degree of functional flexibility, which unfortunately can only be used for one variant. Therefore, the potential of the resources cannot be exploited because identical assembly conditions must be used during the assembly of different variants. If the individual variants show only a small number of similar parts, which on top of that often have different gripping conditions, splitting up variants will be advantageous. As a result, a smaller variant flexibility will be necessary. 

The serial structure will react extremely sensitively to fluctuation in the number of variants. At worst, restructuring or reconstruction of all cells will be required. In contrast, the rate of utilization of the system will remain almost stable if full variant flexible cells are used. Because the handling devices of parallel cells have full functional flexibility, it is not necessary to carry out an adaptation of the number of flexible systems. Due to changes in lot size, parallel cells designed for special variants will even have too much or too little capacity, which cannot be removed without adequate measures. 

Typically high geometrical and functional flexibility make MID suitable for applications in peripheral integrated electronics, such as small control units and portable devices. Past and present MID products bear this out. Standard electronics applications with high component density and multiple layers, such as motherboards in computers, will continue to be produced with conventional technologies.

Clearly eq. [5.5.24] possesses the functional flexibility to describe the data. (In some systems a 1 -step (2-state) equation is adequate. To transform eq. [5.5.24] to a 1-step version, set K2 = 0 and let / = Yj - Yi ) The next step is to examine the parameter values for their possible physical significance. It seems plausible that K, and Kj should be larger than tmity, but not very large, on the basis that the solutes are organic and so are the cosolvents, but the cosolvents are water-miscible so they are in some degree water-like. In fact, we find that nearly all Ki and Kj values fall between 1 and 15. Likewise the gA values seem, in the main, to be physically reasonable. Earlier estimates of g (reviewed in ref. ) put it in the range of 0.35-0.5. A itself can be estimated as the solvent-accessible surface area of the solute, and many of the gA values found were consistent with such estimates, though some were considerably smaller than expected. Since gA arises in the theory as a hydrophobicity parameter, it seemed possible that A in the equation represents only the nonpolar surface area of the... 

Run times for the reported test cases are due to parallel computations, ranging from 256 through 65,536 cores. The choices of numbers of cores are functions of both the required distributed memory and desired run time. Computations that include 50-200 million double-group functions are straightforward to perform on the large systems as indicated in Table 1. These larger calculations are of a basis set size and wave function flexibility that has been generally demonstrated to capture the necessary physics of a myriad of molecular problems. 

Where temperature variations are encountered in the service of an item containing dissimilar materials, adhesives perform another useful function. Flexible adhesives are able to accommodate differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of the adherends and therefore prevent damage that might occur if stiff fastening systems were used. 

In between the input and the output layer there are one or more so-called hidden layers. Each consists of a group of nodes. The name hidden layer indicates that the nodes in these layers do not have a physical meaning. They have just the purpose to provide the functional flexibility of the NN. Each node in each layer is connected to the nodes in the adjacent layers by weights , the fitting parameters of the neural network. They correspond to the arrows in Fig. 2. Here we use the convention that a weight is the connection between node i in layer k and node j in layer /=k +1. The input layer is labeled with the superscript k = 0. In feed-forward NNs there are no coimections between nodes in the same layer, but sometimes direct links between the input and output nodes are included. For any structure defined by a set of input coordinates, at each node i in the hidden layer j a number y is obtained using the equation... 

Specific databases are available for a wide range of uses including the recording and analysis of data on accidents, risk assessments and various test results such as audiometry and LEV tests. Several different versions of each database type, which differ in function, flexibility and price, are available on the market.

Owing to the particular high transport properties of carbon-based nanofillers, a great number of recent publications have considered the incorporation of these nanofillers into flexible PU foams, as opposed to silicate-layered nanoclays, which are mainly added as mechanical reinforcements and for that reason are almost only considered for rigid PU foams. The addition of carbon-based nanofillers comes from the interest in developing new functional flexible foams, for instance with improved piezoresistivity properties.
